A
former Senator from Benue State, Iyorchia Ayu, has said, he collected
N345m from the controversial arms deal funds through the office of the
former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, as consultation fee on
difficult issues. Ayu while speaking with Daily Trust said, "When I
served on the National Security Council as Minister of Internal Affairs,
I got educated that various aspects of security work could be pushed
under different classifications. "Any funds remitted to the company were
for consultancies on security related and electoral matters.
"When
Colonel Sambo Dasuki assumed duty in June 2012, he approached me to
assist based on my background as a social scientist and my previous
involvement in government. "Understandably, I provided the requisite
advice whenever consulted on difficult issues. It is also public
knowledge that I have considerable knowledge of Nigerian politics and
skills for competitive political organisation," Ayu said
